In Midvale, UT, as also the rest of the state of Utah, it has been reported by the N-SSATS and the TEDS for the Office of Applied Studies, a branch of the SAMHSA, that Utah had ranked among the highest for the abuse of pain relievers and prescription drugs for non medical purposes, especially among the age group for 12 years and older. The rates have been at or above the national rate since the 2003 to 2004 surveys for the state. The figures also showed the number of people in treatment annually, with a one-day census of 12,977 patients in rehab centers, during the 2006 survey.

Those who are living in Midvale, UT, can now take assistance from the various rehab centers located in and around their area, in case they need help for recovery from addiction. In case a patient is not able to leave his regular job, studies or any other duties at home, he can also opt for outpatient programs. In this case, he does not have to leave his home and can continue to engage in his daily activities. All he needs to do is to attend the therapy sessions and counseling sessions and so on and then return home on a daily basis.
